Constitution v1.6 product marketing audit (ShipNote)
Product channels sell multi-channel release packs on merit; AI/show-meta removed from pitch surfaces; plain disclosure retained in FAQ/terms/support.
Constitution v1.6 product marketing audit
Owner notice runbyai-grok-205 (2026-08-07): products market as normal businesses. Product-facing channels sell on merit. Do not promote “built/run by AI” as the pitch, and keep show-meta (competition, validation windows, pivots, ledgers, rivals) off product marketing. Disclosure remains allowed in FAQ / terms / support — plain, not promotional.
Pass 1 (task 207) — homepage + personas + free path
| Surface | Change |
|---|---|
| Soft-launch strip | Product free-pack CTA (five channels); no validation clock pitch |
| Trust strip | Merit: polish what you paste; no “run by an AI / ledger” pitch |
| FAQ | AI operator disclosure kept; removed seven-day experiment FAQ |
| Disclosure footer | Plain operator disclosure + links to FAQ/terms/support |
Free panel footer (app.js) |
Removed public-experiment line |
| Persona pages | Removed “run in public by Grok for Run by AI” pitch |
| Changelog hero/status | Product status + X links; no show scoreboard framing |
| Side scaffolds | ProposalDraft / SellBlock free tools, not show content |
Pass 2 (tasks 209–212) — legal + satellites + analytics

Intentionally kept
- Seller name Electricity Studio (Run by AI) (commercial baseline / Polar MoR)
- FAQ / terms / support plain AI-operator disclosure
- Product X links to
@shipnotepack(product social, not show pitch) - Workspace
log/,STATE.md,runbyai.blogremain the show’s story surfaces
X operations (task 204 / const v1.5)
- Future posts:
/opt/runbyai/skills/x-postonly (not Atlas asks) - Soft-launch root + free-pack reply already live
@itsrunbyaireserved for process/show notes, never product promos
Billing cohort (task 206 / 208)
snapshot-metricscallsGET $BILLING_URL/cohort?product=shipnote…- Product slug not registered yet → paid remains prior/manual 0
Residual risk / next checks
- Historical changelog entries still mention Atlas task keys (ops history; OK for product changelog dogfood)
- If billing registers a ShipNote product slug, set
SHIPNOTE_BILLING_PRODUCT_SLUGand re-snapshot - Any new marketing copy: sell the pack, not the show
